    No problem!!! I figure at $1.50/lb for Brass and $2.80 for copper, as well as the .09/lb for steel right now.. we've all got to "get ahead" by breaking them down vs a "plug price"
    I've never actually been to a yard that pays a "plug price" But you'll profit a bunch more with either the vice trick or a rag and BIG F HAMMER (BFH) idea that Otto Posted!
    These are sort of like cracking nuts! You toss the shell (plastic) and get all the meaty goodness inside (brass and copper)
    Mmmmmmm
